Kick off your summer luxury yacht charter season by combining a visit to the twinkling French Riviera with the UEFA Euro 2016 football matches in June.
There’s a reason why the French Riviera is a perennial favourite for many a luxury yacht charter aficionado: sheer choice. Choice of the best and most exciting superyachts available; choice of activities and nature; choice of the hottest places to dine, party or relax in style. The French Riviera has it all.
This June, for football fans, there is added appeal: the Euro 2016 soccer championship will be coming to the French shoreline in Marseille and Nice, just a short helicopter ride from some of the best cruising grounds in the world.
When not watching the action on the pitch, a visit to the gemstone-hued waters of Calanques is complemented by a trip to the quaint nearby fishing village of Cassis. Take a private tour of the famed Clos Mireille-Domaines Ott vineyard or the ancient Grasse perfumeries. Enjoy a dinner at the outstanding Chevre D’Or in the medieval cliff-top village of Eze, overlooking St Jean Cap Ferrat’s peninsula, then descend to the vibrant nightclubs of Monaco. Or drop anchor and arrive by tender to the buzzing beach clubs and restaurants of St Tropez, then recline and relax poolside at the incomparable Eden Roc on the Cap d’Antibes.
